Thread: Against the Kubel heavy opening (2v2)16 Sep 2014, 15:55 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2014, 10:00 AMImSkemo 3 kubels you say interesting thats 240*3 MP so im guessing they only have strummis out to cap points , did you try spreading out your 3 rifle mans rear echs so you can cap multiple places or decap his cutoff he cant engae at all places is there a replay u can upload ? try Mehcanized commander you cant get a Military truck out at 1CP. Didn't upload a replay because I was looking more for general advice on countering it, as opposed to that particular game, but if I get a spare moment I'll upload it! If you wanna see a more successful Kubel spam strategy, look at Aerohank versus Breaking Brad in the replay forum. The lack of capping power isn't a problem for this build because the Kubels also prevent the US player from capping. If you spread out and run away from the Kubels they just split the Kubels and use them to solo the riflemen - failure to retreat or run into a build in this case generally means death. They're also fast enough that if you try to flank again they can regroup the Kubels and a full circle practically. Here are some examples of it: http://www.coh2.org/replay/24195/hashtag-esports (against US) http://www.coh2.org/replay/24184/esports (against soviets) AT Grenades work fine as a counter but I'd rather not always play as Rifle Company. I don't have Mech Company. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Are you taking a break from the CoH2 title?16 Sep 2014, 06:21 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2014, 00:39 AMAvNY So the answer is to play it but fantasize we are playing an enjoyable game? Not sure what you meant. What I'm saying is that US is totally viable in 2v2, so I recommend anyone who is frustrated with 2v2 check it out. The game mode I refer to is 2v2. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Which DLCs are you buying, and why? 16 Sep 2014, 06:11 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Sep 2014, 18:00 PMThunderhun Don't buy the ones above and not a single commander. You can still play well without theses commanders and get them via war spoil. I know, they just looked fun. And the odds of getting any particular commander through warspoils are not favorable.

Thread: Thoughts on ISU-15216 Sep 2014, 06:02 AM What if all the heavy tanks in the game were capped at one per player per game? Multiple ISUs, Elefants, and Tigers getting involved in a tiny skirmish between two platoons just never felt right to me. "We captured a tiny stretch of land held by ~100 guys, but lost two Elefants." Doesn't sound like victory to me. - edit - I don't know why I brought that up. It's a suggestion that comes up over and over, just as these threads pop up over and over. I'd like it better that way, but I'm not really complaining about the current situation. This idea would probably make the Jagd too good. I just don't find "multiple ISUs versus a Jagdtiger" a very interesting end game scenario, and that's one I see in casts of good players, too, so it's not just something that happens with bad players. It isn't all that interesting. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: So I want to love Red Orchestra 2 ... 16 Sep 2014, 05:05 AM Been playing some more, and it's definitely way better now. I'm focusing more on survival and less on killing. I also found some people to play it with. In: Other Games

Similar shit here except with low build time. I remember the March Deployment days. Good times. Attack the soviets with grens from range, and waste them with Pioneers when they close in. Total axis advantage at every stage of the game - early, mid, late. G43 grens laughed at the very idea of cover. Still, I think the improvements to infantry combat were more than worth it, and about a month later, Relic fixed it up and things were mechanically interesting AND balanced. In: Replays
Thread: Esports16 Sep 2014, 00:44 AM Do I think it's fine? Not really; I think it's obvious that it doesn't reflect well on the game and I'm actually considering taking a short break as allies since I'm not having as much fun with all the truck pushing and Kubels everywhere. Do I think it's grounds for screaming invective at someone in the middle of competition? No. In most sports Aerohank would have gotten carded and he would have deserved it. Sports is all about maturity and restraint and discipline. In: Replays
Thread: Esports16 Sep 2014, 00:35 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2014, 00:29 AMGreeb I consider both things bad sportmanship. With the little difference that one is just a player and a customer and the other one is a developer. I expect a developer to not troll, abuse or make fun of a player. If he wants to test strat I was thought that they have a beta server to try these things. Any thing in the game that's not cheating is within the bounds of sportsmanship. Doesn't matter if it's too good or not. There's no rule in the game saying you can't build 3 Kubel wagens and then spam JLI. People want gaming/e-sports to be treated like regular sports, but they're not willing to raise their conduct to that standard. It's silly. In: Replays
